AT THE POLK MANSION.
A Pleasant Visit to the Widow of a
Former President,

II
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Oct. 16.--Some-
body-exactly who it is impossible to
demonstrated a canard this evening
that rebel flag was floating in the
breeze at one of the principal corners in
the city. Investigation was imme-
diately made by representatives of the
local and outside press, but not the
slightest foundation for the story could
be gathered. The tale was sent over the
telephone from some point in the city
to Belle Meade. That nothing of the
sort occurred is firmly believed. The
president and Mrs. Cleveland, escorted
by Gen. Jackson, drove into Nashville
to pay their respects to Mrs. Polk. At
the request of the visitors, the affair
was made as informal as possible, it be-
ing designed merely as an Interchange of
courtesies between the lady of the White
house OF forty years ago, and the lady
tation of Mrs. Polk, Gov. Taylor, Sena-
tor William b. Bate, ex-Gov. James ID.
Porter, Maj. j. W. Thomas, and several
other gentlemen of prominence of this
city and vicinity. The stately Polk
mansion was surrounded by great
crowd of people of all social grades, all
ages and both sexes, gathered
to see the president anu Mrs.
Cleveland. The visitors were re-
ceived at the Church street entrance,
Gov. Taylor Offering his arm to the
president, and Mrs. Cleveland taking
that of George w. Fall, and entered the
spacious parlor, where Mrs. Polk stood
awaiting them. Gov. Taylor made the
presentation of the president to Mrs.
Polk. The latter extended her hand
and said: "Mr. President, am Indeed
delighted to meet you.'' ''Alld l to

= THE LABOR UNION.
A Meeting Held at Which ImpOr-
ant Action is Taken.

tant Action is Taken.
NEW YORK, Oct. I6.-At the meeting
of the Central Labor union this even
the COfinmakers' union. Workingmen
of Norwich, Conn.,, DESTROYS of organic
ing Central Labor union at that place,
were given the necessary instructions.
The Brooklyn Central Labor union
was warned against admitting the
delegates of the Brooklyn Painters and
Scrapers' union, whose members are
said to be working below the Painters
union scales. Upon complaint that the
boycott against the cigars of Joseph
Stahl, of Morrisania, was not pushed
theoretically, the boycott committee
were instructed to do their duty and
boycott all saloons and cigar stands
where StahlS goods are for sale.
The arbitration committee reported
that the differences with Peter DOelger,
the brewer, were settled, he having de-
clared that the nOn-union men working
at his new building had been employed
without his knowledge and that in the
future union men only would be en-
ployed by him and his subOrdinates.
Upon motion of Delegate Hawkes., of
the printers, resolution was adopted
calling upon all trades represented in
the Central Labor union to attend to-
nights Indignation meeting at
Union square for the purpose of
denouncing the police for breaking up
the meeting of the Progressive Labor
union on Saturday, Oct. s. A motion of
Delegate Forney to prohibit the use of
any but American flags at to-night's
meeting caused some debate, the social
lists opposing the motion. 1t was finally
adopted by a small majority in an
amended form, recommending that the
American flag only be carried
tials of the delegates of the
Pressmen's Union No. "a, against whose
| admission the members of Freshman S
Union No. protested, were after some
Wrangling, referred to the printing
trades section. Delegate Bogart, of
| Typographical Union No. 6. reported in
regard to the condition of the job print
ers' aud preSsmen's strike, declaring
that his organization had ample funds
| to support the strikers for a long time,
and that all pressmen's unions
were united in assisting them. The
Engineers union also reported that they
would strike in every shop where the
pressmen were on strike. a committee
was appointee to assist the strikers in
their fight. A petition of the Granite
Workers union of the whole country to
ask congress to provide that all govern
| ment contractors be compelled to pay
their workingmen regularly was in
dOrSed.

SPITE WORK.

The New York Herald has declared
itself in favor of the election of FRED
GRANT on the ground that he is the son
OF his father. 1t sounds rather queer to
hear this reason assigned by leading
newspaper in city which hasn't re-
spect enough for Gen. GRANTS memory
to erect monument over his grave.
But it so happens that, in spite of its
pretended affection for the memory of
the great soldier, the people of New
York understand the real cause of the
Herald's support of young GRANT at
this time. 1t is known to be nothing
more or less than the qualification of a
vindictive feeling toward President
CLEyELANp for having granted the
World an interview at time when
the Herald supposed its rival to be
out of favor with the administration. Ii

Catholic School Teachers.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Oct. 16.-Rev. Father
McTighe, pastor of st. Malachi's Roman
Catholic church, whose recent election
as principal of the Third Ward Monon-
gahela public school created intense ex-
element in both Catholic and Protest
ant circles, gave out for publication this
afternoon he would resign the principal
ship of the school tomorrow, citing as
reason that the sisters had refused to
proceed with their public examination
for certificates to teach in the school.
At late hour last night, after long
consultation with his cOnfrere, Rev.
Father Tobin, of st. James Roman
Catholic church, he was prevailed upon
to reconsider the matter and has de-
cided not to resign, but to open the
school in the morning, as he has done
regularly since his election as principal
two weeks ago. Another effort will be
made to secure private examination of
sisters for the positions of teachers.
Should this tail, an attempt will be
made to secure the services of Catholic
young ladies residing in the ward. The
new turn of events has intensified the
interest in the situation, and the end is
not yet.

TREES AS sNOW-BREAKs.

The department of agriculture has
just published the results of correspond
ence with leading railroad companies
relative to the planting of trees for wind
breaks and as protection from SNOW
drifts. Most of the companies from
whom reports were received say that
they have not made the experiment.
OF those who have done so is the North
ern Pacific, which says that it will take
two years yet to determine with what
success. Tho Burlington & Missouri
River company say: 1--WE do not con-
slider that our trees planted for snow
protection are very great success. In
winter, when protection is needed, the
foliage is all Off, and the right of wav
being narrow the trees are necessarily
too close to the road to make any eff
cient snow break" The Chicago,
Milwaukee IL st. Paul reports good
success, but gives no particulars
The report from the Missouri Pacific
company objects to the planting of
trees as wind-breaks or as a protection
from snow, on account of their obStruct-
ing the view at highway crossings, and
because it would involve the expense of
purchasing land OH either side of the
road. 1t is alleged that where the road
is only 100 feet wide rows of trees on
either side, instead of protecting from
drifts, cause the snow to lodge there and
become more troublesome than it would
be without the trees.

THE BEARING OF THE MEAN.

Arrah, Paddy dear, and did you hear
The news that's goin' round?
The meanest man on Gods green soil
They tell me has been found.
The man who belched with venom forth
The contents of his Spleen
Against our ruler and his wife
The foul-mouthed, low "spalpeen.n
met staunch Republican,
He took me by the hand;
And | asked him how the Tribune was.
And how did she stand.
It's the most detested paper
That have ever seen.
Since Blethen fired off his charge
The foul-mouthed, low ''spalpeen.'
Since the press can smirch ones character.
Tho it be pure and white,
When it feeds on dirt and nastiness
vulture in the night,
And use the same to darken
And to blacken virtues sheen,
Then it's time to hang in effigy
The foul-mouthed, low ''spalpeen.''

Self-Infiicted Punishment.


Valley City Times Record.
It's pitiful sight to see the way those
st. Paul and Minneapolis reporters
harass Dakota politicians when they
visit the Twin cities. Like clay in pot
ter's hands the poor politicians are
passed into all imaginable positions, and
very frequently forced apparently. to
give political pointers with extreme re-
luctance. 1t is amusing. to say the least,
to the knowing ones at home, to see how
innocently the doves are regarded that
are sent out in this way to find the stage
of the political waters. It's shooting
from distant cover at the fellows that
are to be dOwned, and scattering bait in
the direction where the game is wanted.
But the people of Dakota are somehow
awakening to the suspicion that this fire.
quent interviewing of territorial poll
ticians savors of self-intlicted punish
ment.
